Yashasvi Jaiswal Signed as Brand Ambassador for KRAFTON India’s Real Cricket
Yashasvi Jaiswal, the 24-year-old left-handed batter, becomes the face of Real Cricket. On Tuesday, Krafton India announced a partnership with the young Indian star who also plays for the Rajasthan Royals in the IPL.
On the game's home screen, Jaiswal's images are featured across Quick Match and Test Match modes, as well as RC Pass. Fans can also play as Jaiswal in the Rajasthan Royals team, bringing his real-world performances into interactive gameplay.
Yashasvi Jaiswal said, "The preparation happens long before the first ball is bowled. Real Cricket captures that intensity - the focus, the strategy, the pressure of every decision. It's a platform that lets fans step into that mindset, and I'm proud to be part of a franchise that takes the sport as seriously as we do on the field."
Anuj Sahani, Head – KRAFTON India Gaming Incubator & Director, Publishing, KRAFTON India, said: "Yashasvi represents everything Real Cricket stands for - discipline, preparation, and performance under pressure. His journey mirrors the ethos we've built into the game: that success in cricket, whether on the field or on the screen, comes from understanding the sport deeply and respecting the craft. As we scale Real Cricket from a beloved homegrown franchise into a mainstream cricket platform, we needed an ambassador who embodies authenticity and resonates with the generation that plays as much as they watch. Yashasvi is that connection - a young, relatable cricketer whose mindset aligns perfectly with how millions of Indians now experience their favourite sport: interactively, strategically, and with genuine competitive intent."
With the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 going on, the timing is very strategic for Krafton India to announce the partnership. Real Cricket offers fans the opportunity to play their favorite sport, experiencing the competitive intensity, strategic thinking, and pressure of cricket themselves. Cricket consumption in India has evolved beyond passive viewership.
